Tab welding technologies in comparison
Ultrasonic welding is state-of-the-art in the production of battery cells. But welding battery foils is associated with many challenges. The new Laser Tab Welding process from Manz offers solutions for this.
New laser technology in battery cell production
The new laser process optimizes the welding process of cell arresters, the so-called tabs, with measurable advantages over previous ultrasonic welding and reduces the number of necessary process steps. This leads to significantly more quality, performance and safety for the battery cell with a lower failure rate than with previous cells.
Cost savings when using laser tab welding
Overall, the advantages of laser tab welding result in significantly reduced total operating costs and thus the prerequisite for even more profitable production. Compared to the previous method, the investment is worthwhile after less than a year.
